Cast A Curse

I cast a curse to make him love me
But I just made it worse I just made it worse
I danced for the moon and gave my sacrifice
Still he’s cold as ice, cold as ice
I had a shovel and I dug up the dirt
I buried the pain, the heartache and the hurt
Drenched in the rain I got on my knees screaming
Make him love me, make him love me please
Three drops of blood poured on the burning flame
It don’t mean a thing , no it don’t mean a thing
I had a shovel and I dug up the dirt
I buried the pain, the heartache and the hurt
Drenched in the rain I got on my knees screaming
Make him love make him love me please
Hell bent down I went home
Poutin’ bout the years I’ve blown
Glaring at my aging hands man
No wonder he don’t give a damn
Chorus

Oooo I’m running through the desert
I haven’t had a drink in days
I’m burning up a fever
But I’m gonna die unless I get away
My baby tried to shoot me
Pointed right at my face
I screamed you’re crazy
I ran out the door he started to chase
I can’t see it’s too hazy
My skin is burning fire
I’m thirsty but he hurt me
And I’ll be free dead or alive
Oooo I’m staring into snake eyes
Waiting for me to fall
Overhead a vulture flies
They can take my body, won’t have my soul
I can’t see it’s too hazy
My skin is burning fire
I’m thirsty but he hurt me
And I’ll be free dead or alive

Cemetery Blues

I don’t live life like I should
I’ll never run off to Hollywood
I won’t speed with my hair down
I don’t dance if anyone’s around
If you were there maybe I would go
You left me here abashed and all alone
Now who’s gonna bury me
Who’s gonna bury me
Who will be at the cemetery
At my grave on my day
I don’t like to talk to anyone
When I go out I’m never fun
I don’t smile and I never drink
I’m afraid of what everybody thinks
You left me here abashed and all alone
Now who’s gonna bury me
Who’s gonna bury me
Who will be at the cemetery
At my grave on my day

Good God I just packed my suitcase
Gotta go to LA
I’m off to find my sister
Since she ran away
I heard she’s getting married
She wants to be on TV
I find the whole thing scary
Why won’t she come home with me
Mama said bring your sister home
She don’t write no letters won’t pick up the phone
We were raised without a worry
On an island by the sea
But we grew up in a hurry
Always running but never free - Ooo ha I ooo ha i
Mama said bring your sister home
She don’t write no letters won’t pick up the phone
Bring your sister home
bring your sister home
bring your sister home - Ooo ha I ooo ha i
Mama said bring your sister home
She don’t write no letters won’t pick up the phone

In Every Town

I thought I’d have myself together by now
I thought I’d make my Mom and Daddy so proud
But I don’t have a dime
I’m getting older all of the time
I’m so blue what can I do?
I can’t catch a break
I – I – I only get in my way, God what a joke
I’ve been alone and broke in every town
Can’t say nobody warned me this would be hard
I’ve sung my sorrows in a hundred different bars
But a man stole my guitar
I couldn’t chase him I don’t have a car
I’m a tough thing but now I have nothing
I can’t play the blues
I – I – I swear it’s all I can do
God what a joke I’ve been alone and broke in every town
I’ve been a waitress, a sitter, a cook and a maid
I swallow my pride take what I can get to get paid
But if I wake up one day
A dog and a trailer all bitter and grey
Singin’ no one will hear alone with a beer
I should of stayed in school
But I – I – I can’t follow the rules
God what a joke I’ve been alone and broke in every town

Shake N Shudder

|
I spend half my evenin’s crying on the floor
I said my man don’t love me, don’t love me anymore
I begged darlin’ kiss me,look me in the eye
He says sweetheart I’m busy go find another guy
I shake and shudder
and run back to my mother crying why
Still I stuck around and hoped he’d change his mind
If I don’t make a sound will he still say goodbye?
I shake and shudder
and run back to my mother crying why (crying why)
I shake and shudder
and run back to my mother crying why (crying why)
Mama says I’m fine I’m just low and feeling rough
But I’m not enough, why is love so tough?
Said I was a beauty, the apple of his eye
Maybe this life has aged me, I’m rotting deep inside

Battered Bag of Bones
03:01

|
I don’t see nothin’, it’s hard to hear
It don’t mean nothin’ when it comes from fear
And I don’t feel it, I’m not at ease
It still means nothin’ when you come chasing me
You won’t let me back home
Soon I’ll be a battered bag of bones
But now it’s in me, twisted my spine
But you won’t notice cuz I’ve been looking fine
I won’t be sleeping and looking pale
We’re wasting nothing when you drag me to Hell
Chorus

Doomed To Ride
03:41
|

|
I’ve seen the sunrise every morning from the road
Down desert valleys up the mountains in the snow
Through every truck stop, motel, diner, railroad
I’m for sale at every and any crossroad
Think I’m gonna stay out here
I was born to disappear
I’m doomed to die here
Howling at the moon
Why won’t you come and ride dear
On the road from July until June
Won’t take no husband, have no children of my own
Threw out my watch cause I’m never in the same time zone
Think I’m gonna stay out here
I was born to disappear
I’m doomed to die here
Howling at the moon
Why won’t you come and ride dear
On the road from July until June

Get Away Car

|
Ohhh…Come on honey
I won’t survive I owe too much money
I got a plan
Take what I need with my own two hands
I’ll wear a disguise
Lie on the floor and cover your eyes
You don’t have to die
Do as I say and go home to your wife
I might sound crazy no prince is gonna save
I’m a grown baby just trying to make it out alive
Get out of my way I’m breaking the glass
I’m clenching my teeth from running so fast
I took all they had from behind the bar
I’m getting away in my getaway car
A trail of dust hides all the shots
I’ll never get cuffed I’ll never get caught
No way in hell I’d be behind bars ‘til I rot
Boy get off my tail
I’ll skip town, I’ll ride all the rails
If you’ve seen my face
I’ll have to seduce you to get off my case
Repeat
I might sound crazy no prince is going to save me
I’m a grown baby just tryin’ to make it out alive

Different sound. Put me off for a minute. But now I dig it. "Just To Bring You Back" is sooo good, listening on repeat. I love how dancy it is. First track has a magical flow in some parts too that I adore. Could do without the S-P-E--L-L part, otherwise great. "Better Man" has such a silly refrain but it makes me laugh and want to dance too. And the bridge is awesome! "Cemetery" is lovely dreamy. More, girl!
